    Get valuable feedback on what it takes to bring your concept to the GI marketplace from a panel of business development leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and other strategic partners. You will also be able to interact with representatives from the FDA, CMS and other key stakeholders to answer all of your questions regarding developing and obtaining adoption and coverage for new medical technologies.
